Association of Left and Right Branch Blocks with Clinical Outcomes in Patients with Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The associations of left bundle branch block (LBBB) and right bundle branch block (RBBB) with cardiovascular (CV) outcomes compared with normal QRS in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are unclear. We sought to determine CV morbidity, mortality, and total costs associated with LBBB and RBBB in acute HFpEF compared with those without BBB. A cross-sectional study using the 2019 NIS database analyzed adult HFpEF hospitalizations for acute heart failure, categorizing patients by LBBB, RBBB, or normal QRS. Clinical outcomes included atrial fibrillation (AF), ventricular fibrillation (VF), complete heart block (CHB), sick sinus syndrome (SSS), cardiac arrest (CA), hospitalization costs, and in-hospital mortality. Associations between BBB types and outcomes were assessed using logistic and relative risk (RR) models with propensity score weighting, validated by sensitivity analyses. A total of 334,511 hospitalizations with HFpEF including LBBB (6,818, 2%) and RBBB (7,948, 2.4%) were analyzed. Compared with normal QRS duration, LBBB was associated with VF (odds ratio [OR] = 2.47,
